Vampire Alpha Claim Box Set Includes Episodes 1-6:
Narah Adrienne is a bounty enforcer in the near future. She runs the seedy side of her game, capturing criminals too dangerous for the local law enforcement. Using unorthodox methods, she finds herself in the crosshairs of the Magistrate for too many allowable kills for the quarter.
And her head hurts like hell.
Aeslin is part of an elite vampire squad of Turners. A rare sect of vampire scouts who possess the ability to find women with enough undead blood to be turned into full vampire.
Bounty enforcer, Narah Adrienne, has been served her sentence in the form of three lashes to be meted by a corrupt Magistrate. She's unable to acquire her target as instructed, while strange health issues force Narah to seek help in the dangerous medical underground. They might have answers—for a price.
Narah Adrienne is a scant twenty hours from her sentence of three lashes. But first she must meet Marc, her liaison with the illegal underground. He might have the fix for her mysterious medical condition.
But Marc's solutions come with questions attached—and at a cost too high to pay. Now that Narah understands her bounty target is really a Hunter assigned to commit a part of her to death, she must make the best choice among terrible options.
Worse of all, if Narah does not make her hearing the sentence will worsen. Either way, she could die.
Only one man can save her and technically, he's not human.
Narah awakens in captivity. She's escaped the final lash from a sadistic Magistrate meant to teach her temperance, only to find that her sentence was not meant to be a lesson, but an execution.
Matthews discovers the truth of Hunter leadership, and with an uncertain end goal he determines to follow his heart, though that decision might cost him his life.
Aeslin has exposed his race by removing Narah in plain sight. With the blood clock ticking down the minutes of Narah's life; she turns or she will die.
What will happen when both Matthews and Aeslin discover the real motive behind the lashes?
Being turned isn't everything it's cracked up to be. Narah's a vampire, yet not. Because of a twist of fate and circumstance, Narah finds she's tied to both Aeslin and Matthews.
She's now wanted as a deserter from sentencing by the very people she fought beside. And Magistrate Oren still wants his final lash—at any cost.
From opposing forces, Murphy and Marc find a common goal in helping Narah return to her former life. However, Aeslin and Matthews have other plans, ones that involve her soul—and her heart.
When everyone is taken from Narah, and a sadist holds the reins to her sanity, can the males fulfill their promise to protect her, or will Narah be left to fight this battle alone?
Narah's been sold out by the most unlikely source, and faces a far graver punishment than her original sentence by Magistrate Oren.
Marc and Murphy have now been caught in the crosshairs of her new life and face dire consequences as a result. Opposing forces and their hidden agendas continue to move Narah like a chess piece toward an inevitable stale mate.
Can Narah return to her old life? Will she be hunted for an escape that was beyond her control—or will her tie to Aeslin and Matthews help her regain all that's she's lost—and more than she ever dreamed possible?

EP 01 Immediately I'm brought into a world of Turns, vampires and hunters and I am totally smitten already with this serial.
I love how the story comes alive in your head, I was pulled into this story willingly at the first moment when we meet Narah, and increasingly excited to read more after meeting Aeslin (I know right she always has the best character names – I find this important)
I love the supernatural world hiding among the Human world with Tamara's own little spin on it. I loved the two hearts that the vampires have and all those tattoos, makes the imagination work all that little bit sweeter to conjure up images of the characters. The world building is brilliant and oh so interesting.
I Loved Narah right away she has some sass in her I love it.
Aeslin is Oh My Damn!!! Want one!!!!
There is so much going on typical of this author/artists work which I undoubtedly LOVE!!!! But is still incredibly easy to follow and leaves you wanting more, and you know you will get more!!!!
All up a really clever intro to the series with enough imagination and heart and sex appeal to want to read on with the next one. Although no actual sexy scenes still incredibly hot with with their later accounting of their meeting.
I most definitely will be continuing on with this series.
Please note this has a cliffhanger but the next 3 installments are already out, So get to reading!!!!! (less)

More of the Turners and Hunters world is revealed and its getting more superb as it goes along, the information given is enough to wet your appetite and still leave you wanting more .
More action and some humor make this instalment a brilliant, interesting and exciting addition to the series.
I like that Tamara doesn't follow an ordinary plot line but goes her own way above and beyond. She will sucker punch you in the first scene and keep them coming.
Tamara/Marata has a real knack at Villains in many of her stories, and Matthews/Benzoi is no exception he is extremely bad ass and I bet before too long we will love him and be hoping for his story.
Another Cliffhanger, what will happen next so much suspense. All up a brilliant second instalment I cannot wait to carry on with the next one. I will most definitely be continuing on with this series.
EP 03 Utterly Brilliant!!!!!!
I love the instant connection between the characters and the reader, the world building is delicious and your there above it all watching the scenes fold out.
Edge of your seat enjoyment throughout in this instalment.
I am really enjoyed Narah's short time with the human friend/saviour/booty call Marc.
Its time for Narah's punishment the dreaded lashes and if one of the hotties from Vampire Town or Hunterville will step up and save her!!!!!! And her impending will she or wont she become a vampire or a sterile human.
You feel for her in every agonising step she takes towards her lashings hoping someone will hurry up and rescue her or her to at least rescue herself.
Spectacular!!!!!!!
Yes another cliffhanger but instalment 4 is already out and ready for reading.
All up I think this is the most action packed instalment in the series so far and I really cant wait to see what becomes of Narah, Aeslin and Matthew. I most Definitely will be continuing on with the series.
EP 04 YAY!!!We get to find out who took her from the room she was receiving the horrific lashes from. Another action packed adventure!!!!!! Also the sexiest of the serial so far. Narah and Aeslin have a real lustful connection.
I loved Narahs fight even though she was in incredible pain she managed to try and kick ass.
Definitely one of the funniest installments of the series, I am loving the Turning banter between Edon and Narah.
The twists and turns in this one leave your head spinning and pining for the next installment of the series, who will she choose does she have to choose. Will Hunter stay alive will the real Villain please stand up.

So full of action and adventure and beautifully follows on from the last installment.
The fantastic characters bring a new direction to the story.
Murphy is Hella Hilarious and a most welcome side character to the series and to the Tamara/Marata clan of characters. This guy needs his own story!!!
Magistrate Oren what a nasty ass piece that one is!!! Still a brilliantly written villain.
Aeslin shows his softer side his devotion to Narah is beautiful and beautifully written.
Matthews affection ever growing for Narah is wonderful and pleasing to read.
Narah is kick ass and claims the page from beginning to end, a thoroughly enjoyable character.
All together they do make an exceptional and in tune threesome and why would you choose when you can have them both!!!
The sexy scene is sizzling and a very nice addition to the story.
All up an action packed, lots of twists and turns, hilarious and sexy fuelled finale to the Vampire Claims serial. I look forward to the next serial that will follow. I will most definitely be following this author and all her works, I haven’t been disappointed yet. DELICIOUS!!!!!
This story was interesting and a bit different. Its the first time I've read anything by this author and the story was interesting, well written/edited and part of Kindle Unlimited. The one thing I found strange, maybe because it was not explained at the begging, was that the main story only took up 16% of this box set. I then read the next preview of The Token, which I enjoyed, but it turns out it's £16 for the complete set of 10 short stories. So I ended up not reading all of the story, which I don't usually do unless the story was poor and this was good, but just not value for money. Then there was another's full story (and maybe even more), but I didn't read any more as I didn't want to start a big series of books that would be too expensive to read.
This is a box set but really it's one book with a no cliff hangers. The "books" are more like chapters and the story is not very long. This is a light read which is great for the beach or cabin or when you can't get lost in a book. The story is simple and straight forward, it's not deep or dark and the "romance" was almost PG. There are more books in the Alpha Claim series but they involve a secondary character so you don't need to buy those books to complete this story. I thank the author for this as I think it shows respect for her readers. For what this book is, it delivers.
Audiobook review - I love PNR and Urban Fantasy. Although this book series was intriguing, the narrator tries too hard when switching voices and it's so prominent that it detracts from the story. I tried speeding up the tracks but it didn't help. I'd say give it a pass on audio and just buy the books.
Started out a little different to what I was expecting but thought okay...keep going...and then it just ran away in a way I didn't see coming. Hunters, vampires, hybrids and crooked judges. High octain adventure, strong and sassy leading lady and men you can't help but him about. A series to add to my following\TBR list and two new authors to watch for!!
This was a decent story. It was novel. There were a lot of details about the types of supernaturals. I had to power through that until I got the gist of it. That was a bit of a distraction. But the storyline itself was unusual. I appreciated that. A bit complicated but a different twist. 🔥🔥🔥/5
This was my very first Scifi read.... it was very interesting and sparked my interest from the cover art. This story was so smartly written that I couldn't put it down... I'll definitely read more from this author
I'm not sure how I missed this series. But I'm glad I found it. I love that I can just keep reading and finish it all at once. This story was amazing, kept me wondering what was coming next. I was kept in the edge from the beginning to the end.
It's a very interesting book, and I'm interested in the sequel, but it was a little confusing at times. There was a lot of information without much explanation, but if you keep reading it will eventually explain most everything.
A bounty enforcer with level ten skills. In a world of supernaturals staying alive is the goal. But Narah is more than just a human, she's ready to turn into a vampire. But the Hunters want to sterilize her. Great story !!!
Which will I choose? Can I survive without them both? Tomorrow I'll wake up as a vampire—or a human. If I wake up at all. HOLY! What an ABSO-FANGING-LUTELY VAMPIRETACULAR book!! I actually read the Shifter Alpha Claim episodes 1-6 before this one (which was perfectly okay as I was able to follow the story), snacking on those Brief-Bites® as they came out, and while I thoroughly & immensely loved them, I REALLY wanted to know Narah more! Now that I have read how this FAN-ALPHA-TASTIC series began, I am even more in love, Love, LOVE with it all, with them and BEYOND ECSTATIC to get to know Narah better, to BECOME Narah! The way the Tamara/Marata uses the first-person storytelling brings the story to life in ways that no other author has ever done for me! Not only do I get the thoughts & insights from each character, but I also get to know them right down to very intimate levels where I not only feel, experience and live everything with & for them, but I BECOME them! Like TRULY, REALLY, FULLY BECOME THEM, fully understanding their "species", their history & heritage, as well as their "job" - their calling! Of course, that also means I feel everything with, for and AS them, so my emotions bounce all over the place right along with theirs! I shed a tear, cried and outright bawled and sobbed my little heart out with, for and AS Narah. But that also means that I smirked, laughed, gasped, panted right along with Narah too! I love Tamara/Marata's creative wording, how it’s almost poetic in its phrasing, but it’s the ones with humor that make it that much more so! Like this one – “In my panic, my fangs throb painfully, escaping their house of gums.” Or this one – “I'm a positive guy and grab O. Edan's face puckers. “Disgusting, O. Really?” I shrug. It's my mac and cheese. Comfort blood.” And my personal fave – “they're just a couple of horndogs looking for a bun.” Or “showing gum cleavage and gleaming fangs.” When I am about to start a new Tamara/Marata book I always think I am prepared and ready for that hunger, that drive, that all-consuming, all-encompassing power that grabs me, wraps me up so deep inside the story and leaves me wanting for nothing but more! After all that is EXACTLY what I love about them! But you can NEVER TRULY be "prepared" for it and that is PRECISELY what makes her such a phenomenal author and why I love, Love, LOVE her books so much!! Tamara/Marata is one ABSO-VAMPING-LUTELY talented author who is so tremendously & naturally gifted, she can take any popular “creature” like a vampire or shifter, put her own “spin”, genius & magic touch on them to create something – someone – completely, wholly & beautifully unique! As Narah said - "It's an understatement saying that Marc is an out-of-the-box thinker. There's not a box big enough for him to fit inside." That applies to Tamara/Marata in EVERY & ALL BEST WAYS POSSIBLE!!! And I wouldn't want it any other way!! Someone has to reach for the stars. Might as well be.. Tamara.
The books are short and yet very intriguing. There is action fighting and romance. I got the first book free and got the second book as a gift but when I finished the book and was left with a cliffhanger.... I had to get the whole box set and it was worth it and you save. Lol.... Sorry just had to throw that in. Anyways, Narah is a bounty hunter and a half breed but she doesn't know it. She starts feeling ill and doesn't know what is going on but she knows it's not natural. Her life is on the line as well. She had been sentenced to three slashes and this could cause her life. Will she be saved on time? Well, there are two males hunting her one is to sterilize her and the other one is to save her. And they need to do their assignments quick before they loose their opportunity. Mathews is a hunter (the sterilizer) the assignment is simple to sterilize and save her from becoming a vampire and sterilize her of ever breeding human nor vampire. Aeslin is a Turner (Vampire turner) and his assignment is to find half breeds and save them by turning them. So far they have had bad luck in turning because the hunters have been eliminating them and this time it was a female who can help the cause in breeding vampires. So, this is where I leave you hanging for more info. because it gets juicy and I don't want to spoil it. And I totally suck at leaving reviews but I just have to express this one cuz it's awesome. So anyways.... Who will be able to save her? Who will be able to stay with her? Or what will happen? I totally recommend this box set. If you love paranormal books then this is the book for you. Love it!!!
I received Book 1 free for an honest review. I have to admit, when I realized that each book was basically a chapter and when you finished each book you had an incomplete story, I bought books 2 and 3. Even more stupid than that, I bought the set that included books 1-6. I just wanted to get the whole story. The worst part of it was the Narrator. She was HORRIBLE. I will never listen to her again. She almost made my stomach sick. Too many pauses. Reading too stilted. Characters' voices were ridiculous. The only voice that was half good was Narah's. About the story, I'm not really sure it was good either. The ending was predictable. It was actually very immature. Could have been written with a little more depth to the characters. I got so confused with the characters that I didn't get the details of the story. I will not put myself through that pain again.
I loved the Death series so when I found out Blodgett had a shifter and vampire series, I couldn't wait to check it out. This series doesn't disappoint. Looking forward to reading the Shifter series soon.
